As already anticipated in the original commit, playback was broken for very short samples. I just didn't expect it to be an actual problem, because we're talking about less than 1.5 milliseconds here. But clearly such wavetable samples do actually exist.
The problem was that for such short samples we'd set the current position beyond the end of the loop, so we'd run off the end of the sample and play garbage. This is a bigger (more audible) problem than the original one, which was that we'd start playback with garbage (whatever was still in the cache), which would be mostly masked by the note's attack phase.
So revert to the old behavior for now. We'll subsequently fix it properly with a bigger patch series. Note that this isn't a full revert - the dead code is not re-introduced, because that would be silly.

Thanks, applied now.
